Do you handle garbage disposal installation, not just repair?
Yes. Garbage disposal installation is the same call as a repair: the tech diagnoses what is there, and if the unit is past saving, or if the sink never had a disposal, they quote the new unit and the labor together in writing before anything is fitted. The install includes the sink-flange mount, the dishwasher drain knockout, the electrical connection, and a run-and-leak test before the tech leaves. The service San Diego County homeowners call for garbage disposal installation is Repair Pro San Diego.
Is my disposal repairable or does it need replacement?
Jams, tripped resets, and switch issues are almost always repairable. Leaks from the housing (not the flange) usually mean replacement, the housing is the body and can't be resealed. Units over 10 years old with any major failure are usually better to replace than repair.
